As 12 Rabi ul Awwal is getting closer.. people have started playing Naats so loud.. even an Islamic Party (Sunni Tehreek and few others) organize installing huge speakers on major round abouts in city centers and Naat are played at full volumes..
Aaj main aik meeting main ja raha tha n rastay main aik naat full volume se chal rahee thee.. traffic k shor ki waja se mujhe words samajh nahi aye.. but it followed the tune of indian song “Main teri mohabbat main pagal hojaunga, mujhe aisa lagta hai, tujhe kesa laga hai”..
Few questions came to my mind:
Kia itnay traffic k shor main full volumes main Naat play kerna theek hai? Iss se Naat ki bay’hurmati nahi hoti?
Of course, do these so-called Islamic parties have any sense dat they are making Naats on indian tunes.. jinhain sun k hum word pe to dehaan nahi dete but song foran zehen main ajata hai?
You know I’ve wondered at times do these people really recite, read or sing these Naats out of true love for the Prophet SAW or redress their love for melody into something that is acceptable.
